Session variable on log-in page

[wavesurfer]

Hi all,

I need to set a session variable in a Log In User page using the DW built in server behavior, using asp and access db. I want the session variable to be set to ID. The Log In User server behavior already stores username and authorization level in session variables but I also need the record ID of the user to be able to pull out more information about the user later. I am using this code to log in user and store the other session variables:

<%
' *** Validate request to log in to this site.
' *** Loggar in användare samt sparar session variablar "MM_Username" samt "MM_UserAuthorization".
'
MM_LoginAction = Request.ServerVariables("URL")
If Request.QueryString<>"" Then MM_LoginAction = MM_LoginAction + "?" + Server.HTMLEncode(Request.QueryString)
MM_valUsername=CStr(Request.Form("username"))
If MM_valUsername <> "" Then
MM_fldUserAuthorization="access_level"
MM_redirectLoginSuccess="/extranet/Default_2.asp"
MM_redirectLoginFailed="access_denied.asp"
MM_flag="ADODB.Recordset"
set MM_rsUser = Server.CreateObject(MM_flag)
MM_rsUser.ActiveConnection = MM_users_STRING
MM_rsUser.Source = "SELECT username, password"
If MM_fldUserAuthorization <> "" Then MM_rsUser.Source = MM_rsUser.Source & "," & MM_fldUserAuthorization
MM_rsUser.Source = MM_rsUser.Source & " FROM users WHERE username='" & Replace(MM_valUsername,"'","''") &"' AND password='" & Replace(Request.Form("password"),"'","''") & "'"
MM_rsUser.CursorType = 0
MM_rsUser.CursorLocation = 2
MM_rsUser.LockType = 3
MM_rsUser.Open
If Not MM_rsUser.EOF Or Not MM_rsUser.BOF Then
' username and password match - this is a valid user
Session("MM_Username") = MM_valUsername
If (MM_fldUserAuthorization <> "") Then
Session("MM_UserAuthorization") = CStr(MM_rsUser.Fields.Item(MM_fldUserAuthorization).Value)
Else
Session("MM_UserAuthorization") = ""
End If
if CStr(Request.QueryString("accessdenied")) <> "" And false Then
MM_redirectLoginSuccess = Request.QueryString("accessdenied")
End If
MM_rsUser.Close
Response.Redirect(MM_redirectLoginSuccess)
End If
MM_rsUser.Close
Response.Redirect(MM_redirectLoginFailed)
End If
%>

i'd have unique user names and use it later for whatever you need.
there's a server behavior for that: User authentication > Check User
Name or somethink like this

anyway you could try this if you prefer the ID field:

If Not MM_rsUser.EOF Or Not MM_rsUser.BOF Then
' username and password match - this is a valid user
Session("MM_Username") = MM_valUsername
Session("ID") = MM_rsUser.Fields.Item("ID").Value

...
End If

hth,

Thanks, I go for the unique username solution, seems like that is preferable.
THANKS!
